I don't see your point; it wasn't ignored. The link earlier is to an
invalid thread, not a 404 - it's a custom error page... if you get
a real 404, it automatically redirects to the forum index.

I see your point. But invalid thread is basically "not found". I don't see anything wrong with this getting implemented though.

The only thing I can see about returning a 404 rather than the invalid thread page is that a search engine would be less likely to index a bunch of invalid thread pages. That doesn't really affect devshed much though.

One could have the page return a 404 header rather than a 200 and still show the invalid thread page, or redirect to the home page or something. Best of both worlds I guess.

I don't really see a need to change anything though.

That's understandable for several reasons.

For one thing, vB developers get paid to do it and they then sell their product to you. phpBB developers, aside from being lazy f*cks (they've been creating phpBB 2.2 for what, 4 years now?), are doing it in their free time. Free time != money != motivation.

Well, they are very much interested in something called "MODs" which allow photo galleries and embedding media. But they are not interested in improving the overall program...

That's because there's a dedicated MOD team (not officially) & basically users do them themselves.
Also phpbb developers have been known for their laziness when fixing holes and their hackish programming (the source code looks akin to spaghetti napoli with a fork stuck in the middle).

Well, phpBB is good for non-serious things. Note that one of the biggest forums in the world (that RPG forum) is running phpBB though...

Hey, I never discredited the phpBB developers, just pointed out what their (voluntary-)work schedule looks like most of the time. phpBB, of course, on a "don't like it, don't use it" basis.
I fully appreciate the time those people put into the development despite full-time jobs. Thumbs up!

phpBB is great, because it's free and powers many communities that wouldn't exist without the unarguable price-tag.
Also, phpBB is pretty safe once you take it upon yourself to patch/hack it. And I quite like it to be honest. It's nice and clean (on the outside ).

Damn phpBB guys. According to them, phpBB is "feature frozen" indefinately, meaning they won't improve unless it's a serious security issue.

By the way, if anyone's interested in this header stuff, read this.
